1tonne jacket?

[Lozza2442]

Hey ladies,

Does anyone have this jacket? http://www.1tonne.co.nz/index.php?pa...=&categoryid=2
I'm wondering how far down it goes. Will it ride up when you lean forward and make you freezing?
I know that some ladies jackets are cropped/shorter for style.

Don't want to end up freezing my arse off!

Don't you wear anything under your jacket?

That jacket comes with an "8 inch trouser connector", so you will be able to zip them to your pants. Just need someone with some sewing skills to get the zip onto your pants and/or buy 1tonne pants to match SHOPPING!!!!

Bahahaha yes good point! Shall have to get some long merino singlets to tuck in

I'm getting Kevlar Jeans cause I want something that could double as workwear on Casual Fridays, so I guess I'll just get zip put in the top of them! Could prob put the zip on the inside of the waistband so it's not too obvious. May be a bit prickly though...

Ahhhh shopping... *stares wistfully into space*
Need to win lotto so I can shop everyday..

Or some nanna knickers that go all the way to your tits

Nah, not if the clever sewerer puts some form of protective/elasticated piece of material between the zip and your nanna knickers.

I like the part where it says "Barely there"
Is that your pair?

Ooo good idea. Elastic for the win!

[Stirts]

Is that your pair?

Yes

They are a great safety mechanism while riding... you don't want your fanny getting flossed by a sexy g-string when you have a sphincter moment on your bike, it gets rather distracting.

Hey now, don't be getting all excitable just yet. I am far from a sewer, you will need to talk to the professionals to see if it is doable

That does sound uncomfortable, I shall make sure I am fully equipped!

I'm sure if I just throw money at them and "make it rain" they'll make it happen somehow.

If you are worried about getting cold, then kevlar jeans will not be any use to you. A proper pair of bike pants are several orders of magnitude warmer than any pair of jeans.

Well they are nana panties... Incontinence and all that.
God knows why they look like that new though. Maybe someone finds them so sexy they went in and had a bit of fun.

Class is over rated

I bought a Revit jacket which is short and stylish - at the time had done absolutely no riding so had no idea what worked and what didn't. Not sure I would buy it now but not because I get a cold back with it. I notice the wind whistling around my neck and wrists before I notice it around the kidneys. Point being, there are a few areas that you need to check, not just the length of the jacket.

Agree with the comment about jeans vs bike pants. Jeans are not warm even with a couple of pairs of long-johns underneath. Does depend on speed though. If you are only going low speed around town to get to work, you will be fine with jeans but if you are doing speed on the open road then you will get cold. Money enough to buy both?

Get some winter gloves. Best thing that I did to stay warm. Try them on first as gloves are often blokey in design and the fingers can be too short for women. Try them on and test them by reaching for the brake, clutch etc. I found that the first pair of gloves I bought (yep, as a novice) were too short in the fingers and they became extremely uncomfortable as they pulled on my fingers after a period of riding

I brought the same jacket when I first started riding. It was actually a lot bulkier than I imagined, and it is a long jacket in length. Certainly compared to all the sports jackets out there for ladies. Decent length and pretty warm actually. You will find there is extra room under it to wear another layer if need be. Pretty comfy and ok in the wind. Not so flash in the rain of course but few jackets are. A great jacket to start with - just expect it to be bulkier than it looks - not at fitted as the picture shows.
